— "Ultimate Fighter" season seven welterweight winner Amir Sadollah has been forced out of his scheduled matchup with Jorge Lopez at UFC 143 on February 4 due to injury. He will be replaced by fellow "TUF" product Matt Riddle, who takes on Wanderlei Silva training partner Jorge Lopez. Riddle was scheduled to compete this past weekend at UFC 141, but his 170 lb clash with Luis Ramos was scrapped at the last minute after Riddle fell ill. [UFC.com]
